Free Kindle Reader
March 12th, 2010 | 
Author: We’re pretty excited about the Kindle. It’s a powerful digital book reader with a great number of features, not the least of which is you can download any of some 450,000 book and periodical titles from Amazon. The Kindle is an expensive toy for some and a wonderful learning tool for others.
Just recently Amazon announced a free software version of the Kindle reader for your PC. We’ve installed it and had a look and we’re quite impressed. It is easy to use and gets the job done without a lot of fuss. You can get your own copy HERE and start reading Kindle books today.

Amazon Kindle
After many years of false starts and fitful fluctuations in the publishing industry it looks like the time has come for a new approach to the serious distribution of professional quality e-books. There is a small number of quality contenders in the e-book reader market but it appears, at least at present, that the number one choice climbing to the top is the Kindle from Amazon (shown left).
It certainly doesn’t hurt that America’s number one online retailer is seriously in the mix. The Kindle is exclusive to Amazon and features a proprietary publishing format (AZW) and supports several others including TXT, Audible (formats 4, Audible Enhanced (AAX)), MP3, unprotected MOBI, PRC natively; and PDF, HTML, DOC, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP through conversion.
